Manual maize sheller design

Mechanized shelling techniques such as the motor operated maize sheller as well as the tractor PTO operated sheller are the most efficient but post a challenge for adoption by the rural farmer because of the high costs involved in either hiring their services or purchasing the machines. The design modification presented in this paper is aimed Keywords: Corn, Sheller Machine, Design, Fabricated, Efficiency Literature Review of Corn Sheller Machine (IJIRST Volume 2 Issue 01 032) Manual shelling of maize is labor intensive and typically takes weeks and monthsfor shelling the manual harvest.

The mechanized alternatives to shelling maize Corn Shelling Machine its Design and Fabrication. July 25, the essence of advancing from manual hand shelling method into machine shelling is due to various deficiency and limitations in the Area of time and cost requirement. The New method vividly and clearly adjudicate the problem of the former methods adopted, though still in us DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF CORN SHELLING MACHINE.

To design and construct a corn sheller that would not have much breaking effect of grains, leaving the cobs intact during the process. (4) To design and construct a machine that is cost effective manual stress reduction. In order to make it affordable and more convenient to shell the maize, and as a part of our academic project, we have developed a Crank Operated Maize Sheller using ergonomic and mechanical The excessive weight of commercial s hellers and the extreme inefficiency of the manual, lead us to think in differen t ways to solve this situation, besides being expensive and tend to the farming sector, there is a device that meets the needs of small business maize, which ma y have only one food business based on this product.

Also several designs of manual maizeshellers have been constructed, such as that of the it was the objective of this investigation, using locallyavailable materials in Nigeria, to design, develop and build a maize sheller that has the ability to be operated manually and shell 100 maize A maize Sheller with a capacity of 3 horsepower was made effective for the shelling of maize. The efficiency of the machine is 96 and the production cost is 80 000 Nigerian naira (approximately 540).
